Sir Elton John 'livid' as Brexit hits musicians

Sir Elton said his anger was the result of unsuccessful attempts to lobby politicians.

Asked why there had been resistance from the government, the star said: "They are philistines. The Government are philistines. We've got used to governments - especially the British government - just telling us lies every day, and I don't feel OK with that. "People like me can afford to go to Europe because we can get people to fill in the forms and get visas done, but what makes me crazy is that the entertainment business brings in £111 billion a year to this country and we were just tossed away."

"To make it financially and logistically unrealistic to do shows and festivals will be halting the livelihoods and careers of generations of musicians," she added.Noel Gallagher says touring Europe with his band, the High Flying Birds, will have to be scaled down due to Brexit He continued: "So I just think, ultimately, like most things, the fans are going to lose out because instead of bands going to Europe for four weeks now and doing three gigs in Germany, there'll be one. And there will be one in France, and one in Spain, and one in Belgium, and then it'll be a whistle-stop, scaled-down show."

who gives a **** about these leftie w****rs

Fruit pickers neede get your heads out your arses and actually do some work. you’re not as important or relevant as you think you are

Would it be an idea to start a company to do the paperwork for you?.

Poor luv

Oh dear!! What is he going to do about it?

It’s a little bit funny…..

Time for musicians to go anti Brexit get the hatred up like the days of metal music

They’ll have to get proper jobs like the rest of us!

Oh dear i feel a handbag moment coming on! Keep your syrup on Elton 🙆

Has he been talking to some musicians, then?

Who cares what the multi millionaire thinks,

shame

When touring conditions were last like this was when British music ruled the world. It’s almost as if having to pay to tour made people sit down and write songs that actually sold in decent amounts so they could then go on tour. Bonkers, I know.

I’m just here to see the brexiters blame the eu for the things they voted for.

Go on Elton, give them a rocket man.

Oh well nevermind.

Unfortunately it’s not just about Brexit failure. Other countries are now closing the borders to the UK too . BOL . .

These thing should have all been listed before we had to vote to leave the EU instead we are told all sees things afterwards .. we were lied to just like we are about Covid

Should Trump go to jail? This is the topic we are discussing today. After many investigations, many people think that he has done a very bad job in preventing epidemics and should be responsible for the 600,000 Americans who died. What do you think?
